History:Delphine was, under another name, a Greek woman more apreciated for her beauty than her wits. As the other greek philosophers had influence over the whole known world, no one thought that women could be equals of men. Delphine was wise, and loved talking with the greatest philosophers. Her most-often-asked-question was "Why?". Like Descartes some centuries after, she asked if we were to accept obvious (but not provable) facts only by hearing them from wise sages.

The great problem of the time were the rights of the egyptian women. The greek found it strange (and even sacrilegious) to let her be so free. It was at the same time that a ptolemaic Pharao striped them of their millenium old rights. Denied by the men for the simple fact of thinking to talk as equal to male philosophers, she had sought haven in Egypt. Only to see the greeks enslave the egyptian woman and her dreams of Equality die.

But Paercebal found her, and the True Brujah was awed (as was Hecate/Meryt-Neith) by this young woman who fought for a lost cause. The two Cainites followed her till Alexandria. Paercebal fell in love with her and asked Hecate the right to Embrace her. Hecate/Meryt-Neith accepted.

The Neonate took then the name of Delphine, because of the Oracle of Delphes, the only woman respected by the greeks. She traveled all around the known world, to study civilizations and the status of the women... She became a spy for Hecate, without knowing it.

She came to Paris in 886, with Alexandre (who would become the Ventrue King of France before Beatrix and François Villon) and tried to be out of most french events (Some think she was behind Jeanne d'Arc, and she was definitively behind Olympe de Gouges, who wrote the Declaration of the Rights of the Woman. Note of the Author: The Rights of the Human Being are written, in french, as The Rights of the Man, Man having this double meaning as male human and human. Olympe de Gouges, seeing women were somehow forgotten in the declaration of 1789, wrote her own version...).

In the 1871 Commune (the revolution when the Brujah burnt the Tuileries), she kept her neutrality, seeing in the revolution another war between men with but half-ideas for philosophy. She didn't say anything when Villon decided of the Great Hunt against the french Clan Brujah. After all, most of them were impostors and brutes (she believes Iconoclasts have no place in a civilized society...).
